HarryCarter Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 OMG! I feel like the Holy Grail has surfaced! :HALKING: :HALKING: Indeed! I love this clip for so many reasons. It's hard to believe this was during the run of I Love Lucy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 She looks fantastic, what a dress. Amazing to see in color. This rare glimpse at Lucille in the 50s you can see how matter of fact she is and how she seems similar to how we got to see her real personality more in the 60s.

Annaleigh Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 This is perfection. Love these rare clips during the I Love Lucy run. Like Shelly said, we get to see Lucille Ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I was never sure if this footage still existed! Lucy presenting the Short Film awards at the 1952 Academy Awards. Harry: thanks SO MUCH for this remembrance - into the chronology it goes; since I believe it's the first I had known of it in all the research I've done.

Neil Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 So cool! She certainly whip through those categories. I wonder if Lucy was disappointed that her one 1951 release "magic Carpet" was not up for any award. I had no idea any of the pre-Broadcast academy awards existed on color film, no less. Though this would definitely use some expert color correction. I think the first time it was aired was 1953. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I was amazed to see this was in color. If all Oscars got through awards this fast today it would be a feat. Do we know if Lucy did anything else at the Oscars other than 89'? She looked better here than I think at all the other Emmy's she attended and won at. That was some dress.

FreddieMertz Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I saw this on Youtube and was just about to post it!!! Anyway, the footage looks kind of like it was colorized. Is there any other color footage from this ceremony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other color footage from this ceremony? There is color film of the ceremonies held in 1951 and 1952. It's the real color. I guess they were filmed for archival purposes because the show was televised for the first time in 1953. The telecasts beginning in 1953 were in black and white. Here are some other color clips from the 1951 and 1952 ceremonies: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmadluv7 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 WHAT A GEM. She looks so glamorous and oozes "Hollywood Royalty" She's not only funny, but she's interesting, she's poise, yet she's funny and whimsical (1:37) lol but what gets me is the universal appeal she has in capturing and charming the audience (2:47 -3:08) she had something special! Lucy Presents an award to the Walt Disneys camp!?!? A TRUE GEM!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 When Walt was notified I hope he said, "What's that?... Another Oscar? I'll have to enlarge the den. This is the sixth one. Uh, the twelfth one!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
